Wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate: Heather and Anthony

Jason photographed Heather and Anthony’s engagement session in February and was happy to see them again on their wedding day at the beautiful Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota.  The wedding day was a bit rainy and gray but the mix of colors the couple used brightened up the day.  Bridesmaids wore blue dresses and carried white bouquets but each of them had bouquet ribbons and shoes in either yellow, purple, blue, or pink.  The groomsmen also each wore one of those colors for their ties.  At the reception, centerpieces, favors, and the framed table names also used the fun bright colors.

The flowers were done by Yelena of Elegant Designs.  Grace of A Wedding with Grace is always a wonderful officiant.  The food at the reception was from Sarasota Catering Company and the wedding cake was done by Publix.  The DJ for the wedding was Isaac of Ikeman Entertainment.

Heather and Anthony, we hope you enjoyed your European honeymoon!  Congratulations to you both on your marriage!

Wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate: Laura and Kevin

The Powel Crosley Estate is a historic mansion in Sarasota and a beautiful wedding venue.  Laura and Kevin had their black and white themed wedding there just a few weeks ago.  Laura had her hair and makeup done by Fabiola of Ana Molinari and Kristine of Fabulous Faces by Kristine (facesbykristine@yahoo.com).  The ceremony was held on the back deck and Grace of A Wedding with Grace was the officiant.  She always does a terrific job.  Bee Ridge Florist was the couple’s florist.  Laura’s bouquet was gorgeous and classic.  Mom loved the pearls inside the stephanotis centers.  The reception was held in a tent on the back lawn.  The DJ was Wayne of DeLair Entertainment and Cakes by Ron made the three tiered square black and white cake.

The entire wedding had a timeless look but a modern feel brought out by Laura and Kevin’s fun personalities.  Congratulations to the newlyweds!  We hope you enjoyed your trip to Antigua!

Wedding at the River Wildnerness Golf and Country Club: Nicole and Brian

Dad had a great time with Nicole and Brian!  They had an elegant wedding but kept it lots of fun too.  Their wedding party was a blast and impressively acrobatic!  It was a terrific day.

The wedding was held at the River Wilderness Golf and Country Club.  Cari from Kyle Lynn Weddings was there for hair and makeup.  Dad enjoyed working with her again.  The flowers were done by Oneco Florist.  Dad was happy to see Grace of A Wedding with Grace and she always does a great job as the officiant.  The DJ was from DeLair Entertainment and the awesome green and black cake was made by Cakes by Ron.

The couple enjoyed some time in Key West for their honeymoon.  We hope it was a lot of fun!  Congratulations on your beautiful wedding and all the best in your future as husband and wife!

Wedding at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens: Michelle and Eric

Intimate weddings are always a great mix of both emotion and romance with fun and celebration!  Michelle and Eric’s wedding was no exception.  They were married at the Schimmel Wedding Pavilion at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.  Karen of Karen’s Violins played the music and Flowers by Fudgie was the florist.  We are always fans of a birdcage veil and Michelle looked beautiful and classic in hers.  She also wore gorgeous and fun bright green heels and Eric matched with his green striped socks.  The officiant was Grace of A Wedding with Grace and she was wonderful.  The ceremony was so sweet and many of the guests were in tears as they felt the connection Michelle and Eric shared.  Congratulations to Michelle and Eric and we hope the joy of your wedding day only grows as years go on.

Kalyn and Daniel

Kalyn and Daniel were married at the Sirata last Saturday.  Dad was excited to see them again after having lots of fun at their engagement session.  When Dad arrived everyone was very upbeat and excited and dad knew it would be a great day. Darla Stafford did an amazing job on hair and make up (as usual) and it was great seeing Chad with Digital Wave Productions who was the couple’s videographer.

Kalyn’s beautiful smile:

Dad loved the detailing in Kalyn’s dress.  The ceremony was on the deck and though there was a bit of a concern about rain, it luckily held off.  Grace from A Wedding with Grace was the officiant and dad enjoyed working with her again!

After the ceremony the guests gathered on the beach for a big group shot.  While Daniel held dad’s camera for him, he took a couple self-portraits.  Daniel’s picture is actually one of mom’s favorites from the day!

Crazy family shots are always fun!

The reception music was by Dan from Sword Sounds. Believe it or not, this isn’t the first wedding dad has photographed where a hula hoop has made an appearance!

One of our favorite ring shots EVER!!!

Kalyn and Daniel were awesome!  We hope they have a terrific time in Aruba!
